Today i tried to migrate a customers plesk server with suse 10.0 to his new server with fedora 7. I started the Plesk migration tool and received the following error in German

Einige Felder sind leer oder enthalten einen ungültigen Wert.

Some fields are empty or include an incorrect value.

So i started looking for the problem. I checked the log files on the source server and came across the following error message

no more sessions

You can search for this error with the following command

grep "no more sessions" /var/log/*

The problem is suse’s version of the ssh server which is patched. The solution is to either compile the ssh server yourself or install a new rpm version (easier). If you are using suse 10 x86 use these commands

wget ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source

/suse/i586/openssh-4.1p1-10.i586.rpm (goes on one line)


rpm -Uvh --force openssh-4.1p1-10.i586.rpm

If you are using another version as in am64 or ppc please donwload the correct ssh package from

ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/suse/
